| - Tratto has been one of my best culinary experiences in a long time. In a gastronomic landscape of chains and celebrity chefs that pay more attention to their branding than their offerings, tratto is a beacon of deliciousness. From the unassuming decor to the impeccable service, Tratto walks the fine line of fine dining without tilting toward pretension. For cocktails we had the mezcal blueberry cocktail, which was smoky yet sweet and quite enjoyable. We also had the VDK which could use some work in comparison, not as inspired or innovative. The farinata starter was amazing, I have yet to see farinata outside of the west coast of Italy, and it was one of the best I'd ever had. The onion and roasted sage were a perfect and welcome addition. The true star of the evening was our primi dish, the Tortelli pisatta gialla. Perfectly prepared, and the cherry tomato sauce with the ricotta was superb. For a secondi we shared the Pork shank alla Milanese, which was hearty and literally fell right off the bone. Chris Bianco has created yet another amazing dinning experience, and in my book, his best yet.
